They came from another world. Invasion of the body snatchers based on the book of the name. It starts Kevin McCarthy as Miles Bennell, Dana Wynter as Becky Driscoll, Larry Gates as Dan Kauffman, King Donovan as Jack Belicec.
This classic horror film starts in emergency ward of a hospital, where a crazy man is held in custody. They identify he as Miles Bennell, who tell the tail the events before his arrest.

Acting of movie is very basic for todays standards. The actions of the Miles Bennell aren’t believable or logical. At some points the women of the movie tend of over action simple scenes. The rest of the cast is monotone and have little emotion.It ok casting, but they could of done better. You find yourself laughing at serious point in the film due to the poor acting. This movie could be recut to become a comedy movie, just based off their facial expression.
One of things I did like about the movie a...
... middle of paper ...
...g movie, but still people liked it. Some people thought it was a evil movie with the pod people representing in the Soviet Union or communist. Today it ‘s number nine on the AFI top 10 Sci-Fi movies of all top.
The money brought in from the movie was massive for it’s time . When first proposed the plan for the budget was $350,000.This was later change the scheduled for a 24-day shoot and a budget of $454,864.In the first month it made a million in the U.S. before the end of the year it made an additional 2.5 million. Even though it wasn’t the top selling movie of the year it still made a good amount of money.
In my opinion invasion of the body snatchers is a ok movie. My main problem is the cast. They could have been acted better actors. Also it’s a cheesy plot , but still somewhat well written. Most likely I wouldn’t ever watch it again, only if I had too.
These days the money and personnel that go into creating a movie is scandalous. It is almost unbelievable that every time they don’t come out with anything less than a classic. Luckily this is true in the case of "Ferris Buller’s Day Off", which features some of the best casted actors for a long time and costs in the region of $5.8 million. Luckily, it is fantastic - and this is why.
All characters in the movie were played well by the actors in my opinion. They
I feel that the movie has no weaknesses. This is because even though I had a few things I didn’t like such as the anonymity given, I realised that there was a reason for this which I explained in my strengths of the movie below.
The movie is, most likely, done well enough to intrigue its intended audience. It captured the theme and story line of the book. It falls short, though, when compared to the beautiful, sensitive and contemplative prose of Natalie Babbitt. One could only hope that a viewing of the film will lead the watcher to try the book and be delighted all the more.
film, on such a low budget and most of it went to the one semi-famous
Honestly I thought that the movie had such a simple story but at the same time it is so complex. The way it was delivered it was amazing, it's such a moving film. The actor’s were amazing, there isn’t anything I would want to change about this film. I would 100% recommend this movie to anyone, its so inspiring and it really makes you think.
...er apparently created successful persuasive appeals for the crowd to be attracted and enjoy a movie that will be funny, colorful, and full of adventures that eventually will teach a life experience to the public.
Initially tanking at the box office, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining garnered a cult following and high appreciation many years after premiering. The film, differing from Stephen King's original novel, lacked speed and coherence; however, fans accumulated after noticing small details that conveyed entirely different messages. The director dedicated attention to every detail, causing confusion after noticeable inconsistencies and pointless-seeming deviations from the book. Stanley Kubrick's The Shining spawned numerous discussions through multiple enigmatic, open-ended components and deep-reaching symbolism.
it cost to make. When I first saw the film, I would not of classified
The film is considered one of the primary examples of the cinema of attractions at work and was very popular upon its release. So much so, that the film was quickly pirated by many major american studios, including the Edison company. The film was known for it's unusual length and highly advanced production values. A Trip to the Moon was the longest and one of the most complex films that Méliès had made, and employed "every trick he had learned or invented" such as his famous splicing techniques and other brand new dazzling special effects. (Miller p.15) Costing ₣10,000 to make, (Frazier) and taking three months to complete, (lefebvre p.51) the film is now considered Melies crown jewel of the many films he has
...s quite common. If the film was more accurate it would probably make it better and more enjoyable for history lovers, but you wouldn’t learn much about this time and event from this movie. It wouldn’t be very the best movie to see for people who really care about historical inaccuracies or minors because of the slight nudity and adult content, but otherwise it’s for anyone who needs a movie to watch and loves beautiful scenery and exquisite costumes.
Although I enjoyed the main portion of the movie, there were some obvious likes and dislikes in my opinion. I believe that I learned from this movie and it helped me understand more of what the people of that time were feeling.
Whether they were a drunk or a punctual control freak, each actor clearly put a lot of thought into their work. Each actor was fully committed to every action they made and they moved with a definite purpose. Despite the definite movements and the definite character choices made by the actors, there still appeared to be a sense of forced emotion in their words. For example, the man acting as the drunkard overplayed the alcoholic, hung over, and stereotypical wobbly walk. He made a few obvious mistakes, like flubbing up lines and other things to that effect, and it appeared to be because he was trying so hard to look and act drunk that he forgot to act. The woman playing Daisy was, in fact, one of the best. She had few mistakes and played her role the most realistically out of all the actors. The blocking of the play allowed for a few characters to upstage themselves and others, which made it hard to hear some words and conversations, but besides that, the technical aspects of it were good.
I like the film very much. I think its one of the best films I’ve seen ever. The comedy in the film is just my humour, and the action was okay.
